I've been trying to delete from my memory Spurs last couple of results. It hasn't been easy but I'm not that particularly worried considering the amount of injuries we have at the moment, five centre-halves out and our main goalscorer Jermain Defoe, plus our goalkeeper Gomez who only a short while ago everyone thought was a bit of joke but has turned out to be pretty damned good.

What some people are forgetting is that the season is still young. Plenty of time yet to redress the balance. Anyway, I didn't think Arsenal cared about the Carling Cup. Are you that desperate for a bit of silverware?

Anyway, congratulations to the Hammers contingent on here, I know you've been waiting for over four years for that result so enjoy the feeling while it lasts.

As far as I'm concerned the only reason the 4-1 win was of any consequence was because it was against Spurs, if Arsenal don't win it I couldn't care less. I'd rather have had the 3 points against WBA. Talking of desperate, I would be if I'd waited almost 50 years to win a title. But I guess Spurs fans know that this isn't gonna happen in their lifetime so its no longer an expectation.

Beg pardon, who, Atila????


I've mentioned a fact as Benitez, bless him, once said. Spurs haven't won the title for 50 years. Fact. You kicked the desperation thing off Mr. Lush, not I.


Desperation is mentioning the number of injuries to the squad as the reason for a defeat. I'm happy to admit we lost to WBA because we were poor, try admitting the same about your perforamnce against the Arsenal and West Ham, you find it very cathartic.


edited due to rubbish spelling!!

I have to say I skim read a lot of the forum these days but I didn't spot it at all.

Axeman, thought it was mike, now pretty convinced it's wolf despite not doing his usual giveaways (though footie thread avoidance is one of these thinking about it)


Is it because Halloween is coming soon or something?

Yep! Too easy. The same taste in music on the song game thread and mentioning of Turkish bread and shops on another and of course he supports the Arse and just can't contain his hatred for Spurs. That repetition of the 50 years since we won the title was just too easy for everyone else. Must try harder next time Atila.


Anyways - I'm off to the match at White Hart Lane tomorrow night. Champions League we're having a laugh.

Mick doesn't look anything like me. I know that for a fact. I've seen me.It would be too much of a coincidence.

Anna, you don't get a permanent ban without good reason...why don't you go back and read the posts before he was banned if you need an explanation.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
